#stupid pump

[raven-mcbain-monkeymouse]

We have a frickin river in our backyard from melting and Our stupid sumppump has decided that it will no longer draw out water so father and I are having to bail water out, cart it up the stairs in buckets (while attempting not to spill any water or slip on the stairs from when we spilled water) and throw it outside onto the grass! Needless to say I'm sore and tired and wet and unhappy and possibly dehydrated!

Mcdjgghy my pump just woke me up for having a low battery warning. Whoever decided to give it the most obnoxious, loudest alarm for just a low battery / warning is stupid.

why are you even talking to me...

i was super setting push ups x5, chest dips x5 and glute raises x20 with no break. 4 sets. all good a bit fatigued but totally pumped.  mid dip, ear phones in, unknown 'pt' comes up to me and tells me that the exercise i am doing is also a chest exercise so perhaps don't lean forward, don't look down and uncurl my shoulders. great, thanks for that *thumbs up*.  well actually honey...i'm doing a chest dip and actually, it IS a chest exercise, i think you are referring to a tricep dip where yep, you don't lean forward as much and ummm as for my curved shoulders, i was in a mens tee so how you came to that conclusion i have no idea, and from my experience, curling over makes it impossible to dip.... while i totz get that this girl competed in the inba (mind you, she did not place and is naturally lean so her physique i wouldn't say is great), please don't come up to me and preach how to do an exercise when you clearly don't even know the difference between dips.  as a pt, you of all people should know that there are a million different techniques, styles and ways to hit muscle groups...oh hang on, wait!!!! my mistake, you're text book taught and the book says there is only one way...oh and hang on, your specialty....body sculpting...WTF IS BODY SCULPTING....

Mike Rashid knows what the Stupid Pump is. Watch this if you feel the need to wanna be a bass. Over-training is a myth. Over-training equals one damn Stupid Pump

The Pump

Everybody who lifts knows the feeling of the pump. Everybody knows the feeling of lifting heavy ass weights for an extended period of time or having the best damn workout of your life. The pump allows you to feel great about what you accomplished in such little time. Some only get a pump but there are others who deal with the STUPID PUMP.

I ended up doing around 50 lunges (the last 20 were with weight in my hands), 35 squats, around 50 crunches, 40 side crunches, 20 heel touches, 20 dead lifts, 40 standing side crunches (with weights in my hand), 40 arm curls, 40 more arm thingies where your hands are by your side then you curl then lift the weight above your head then curl and back down (lol), 20 sitting crunches, and 40 one-legged bridges.

Believe it or not I did it over the span of about an hour and a half, taking plenty of breaks in between because I'm lazy and get out of breath easily. My muscles were feeling like jell-o afterwards but it felt amazing. And the best part? I was starving and ate a piece of delicious pizza. I'm about to go have a banana now, too, since I just got out of the shower and am still hungry. One of the best things about working out (for me, anyway) is how hungry it makes me.

Working out for me has nothing to do with losing weight, and everything to do with gaining weight and getting strong and healthy again. This is how I hope to achieve my goal weight of 115 lbs. (I'm currently around 98, having just suffered through a bad break up and losing a pregnancy. Stress kills, people.) And already I feel so much better physically, mentally, and emotionally. I just hope to get the treadmill in the basement working again so I can do cardio, as well, especially during the winter when I won't be able to go on so many hikes through the forest.

This is by no means a perfect work out routine. I was literally surfing around on Pinterest for familiar and new, interesting-looking exercises I can do at home with nothing at all, or using the 7lb weights I found in my basement and the 2 lb ankle weights I found in my dead grandmother's things. So I was just trying out a bunch of different things, seeing what felt good and what works well with my body.

In time I hope to create a few routines I can do a few times a week, at least three days a week, to stay in shape and help keep my muscles and bones strong and fluid throughout Winter (I get really bad arthritis in my knees, hips, back, hands and random pains in the rest of my bones.) I also want to find yoga routines I can do on my off days, or on days I just really need to stretch or ground myself.

I am very open to any suggestions!

I should get some kind of medal for surviving today. I'll settle for the ability to eat without being sick, or sleep.
